for creativity is limitless

Take it Slow

Please take it easy, my lonely heart

He makes you feel like everything is gonna be alright

Be steady and take it slow

No, you're not yet in love

Watch your step along the road

Learn from the past

...but leave everything that's unpleasant...

Bring with you the good memories

....put it in your treasure box....

...Be ready for another ride...

Now you learned,

it wasn't always easy

Sun doesn't always shine bright

Atleast now, you'll know when the rain comes...

Before it arrives..

Nothing

.......................

What's that?

Oh... Nothing.

The truth is not an option.

Oh god.

Not again.

That silent phone, distracted eyes.

Thinking about what I've said to...

No. The truth is not an option. I wish it was.

This route just feels familiar now.

There's nothing to look forward to.

But, well...

The truth is not an option.

No. You're right.

But...

I don't know, perhaps it is.

The truth is not an option.

Ok, so what?

Nothing.

Just

say

nothing.

Is it regret, or am I just having a bad day?

I'm asking myself,
Am I in the right place
Should I really be here
Did I make the right choice
or am I just looking at the wrong angle
Am I really that fed up
or maybe I just need a pause to think clear
Do I really hate what I do
or maybe I'm just doing it wrong
failures keep on summing up
bad results that are hard to fix
domino effect
Are they bluffing with me,
or maybe I'm just too stubborn to listen
to what they had to say
I'm trying to read between the lines
opinion and advice
Anxiety strikes
Is this called self loathing
seems like I don't trust myself like before
Not that confident and always sure to what I do..
Like everything is not falling in the right place

#anxiety #tired #self-loathing

Hands

Sometimes, others might find your actions weak,
But on your angle, its the opposite of what they see.

Vincent Chukwuemeka

God is a Woman

One more creation was abandoned
Neglected by incapable lads
Flocks to clueless herdsmen
Sheep with feckless purpose
Drooling to episodes of their disgusting chivalry
Their gold and silver were made of flesh
Trophies of broken women and promises
                        - Foolish sons and uncles

Daughters and aunties are creators
They watch the night like fearless combatants
Between the wretch of men and the future
These women stood like guardians
Ready to take every blow, every curse, all the crap
Just because one more creation will survive
                        - Believing lasses

God created man in His image; I didn't say that, I read it from a book.
